    Neocities, the Fediverse, and Gemini Protocol sites are where I spend the vast majority of my online free-time, and it’s so much more pleasant than the big corporate slop websites

        Neocities.org is pretty straightforward it’s a revival of Geocities. People make personal websites or sites for their weird niche interests. It has a very minor social media component where you can ‘follow’ people’s sites, and you get updates when they get edited.

        Gemini is a web protocol, like HTTP, but it’s text focused, and geared towards non-corporate, hobbyist use. It has a mirror of Wikipedia, its own search engines, a BBS board, etc. To access it you’d need a special web browser. I happen to really like Lagrange

          I don’t get what inherent corporate use the https protocol itself has but thanks for the info dump. I’ll take a look. Especially since I even nvere herad of Geocities before.
